How we handle wood floor repair in Shiphay
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Shiphay get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Shiphay
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
Across the UK, so Shiphay is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shiphay use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Shiphay, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Shiphay
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shiphay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
